Brief Summary  

 

Periodontitis is an infectious disease of the tissues surrounding the teeth, occurring in about 50% of the population and resulting in significant debilitation for about half of these persons. Therefore, the prevention or treatment of local inflammatory disease (periodontitis) may be an important factor in the control of systemic inflammatory conditions.

 

Traditional methods used in the diagnosis of periodontal disease include assessments of gingival inflammation (e.g., bleeding on probing) and periodontal tissue destruction (e.g., probing depth [PD], clinical attachment level [CAL]). Advantage associated with these methods include being easy to use, cost effective and relatively non- invasive. However, the major disadvantage of these techniques is that they are static diagnostic parameters, indicating disease history and not the current disease status. Therefore, these methods cannot identify highly susceptible patients or actively deteriorating sites. So, there is a need for a biomarker that can be correctly & easily quantified and which can predict the diseased status of the periodontium much before any considerable damage is done to the periodontal structures including the alveolar bone. Such a biomarker will effectively enhance the prediction and treatment plan there by greatly improving the outcome of the periodontal treatment.

 ICTP concentration is currently being used as a diagnostic marker of active bone resorption in many systemic metabolic bone diseases such as postmenopausal osteoporosis, myxoedema, thyrotoxicosis, and primary hyperparathyroidism; The value of pyridinoline cross-links as markers of bone turnover is because of their specificity for bone.

 Interleukin -17 (IL -17) is a multifaceted cytokine with diverse roles both in immune -protection and also immunopathology.4 The pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-17, and IL-17 producing CD4+ T cells (also called Th17 cells) have been shown to play an  role in many inflammatory diseases, there is increasing evidence of the presence of IL-17 and Th17 cells in human Periodontitis lesions and this may be associated with disease severity.



Saliva acts as a cumulative diagnostics fluid in the oral cavity containing not only the constituents of the exocrine salivary glands but also the gingival crevicular fluids. Thus, it has the advantage of providing overall idea about periodontal health status, in such scenario, whole saliva and its contents represent a promising diagnostic fluid for the screening of periodontal disease.3 Saliva contains biomarkers that can be used for diagnosing local and systemic diseases and monitoring the effect of treatment, Changes in the content of saliva may be indicative of pathological changes in periodontal tissues.

 One-third of the world’s adult population are smokers (57% of these are men, 43% are women), It is predicted that in 20 years this yearly death rate from tobacco use will be more than 10 million people; Smoking in developing countries is rising by more than 3% a year.7 The relationship between smoking and periodontal health was investigated as early as the middle of last century, smoking is an independent risk factor for the initiation, extent and severity of periodontal disease.7 Grossi et al (1995) found that tobacco smoking was strongly associated with both attachment and bone loss. Smokers are more susceptible than non-smokers to advanced and aggressive forms of periodontitis (Haber et al. 1993, Ketabi & Hirsh 1997). In smokers, there seems to be a relationship between periodontal attachment loss, number of cigarettes smoked daily (Martinez-Canut et al. 1995), and number of years of tobacco consumption (Haber & Kent 1992).8

 

The present study involves the direct measurement of a potential biomarker in the whole human saliva of a bone specific molecule called ICTP (pyridionline cross-linked carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen) and IL-17, as to the best of our knowledge, very few studies have been conducted to know the relationship between smoking, inflammatory periodontal disease, and salivary ICTP and IL-17 levels and their relationship has not been clarified. Our hypothesis is NSPT will reduce the level of ICTP and IL-17 in periodontitis patient. Hence, this dissertation aims to evaluate the concentration of the salivary ICTP levels and interleukin-17 levels in healthy patients,

patient with periodontitis with and without smoking habit.
